The video reveals the tunnel where the six hostages, who were killed, were held. In response, the Forum of Hope stated (Tuesday night):
"After the exposure of the tunnel where our hostages were murdered, we are deeply shocked. The State of Israel cannot continue as usual," said the Families of Hostages' headquarters on behalf of the Forum of Hope.
"Israeli citizens must know the truth. According to all sources involved in the negotiations, Hamas is not interested in a deal at all. There is no hostage deal on the table, certainly not one that includes everyone."
**"No Aid to Hamas, Full Siege on Gaza"**
The Forum of Hope has outlined new rules for Gaza:
1. No more aid to Hamas. Food aid will only be provided to civilians who have evacuated their homes.
2. Implement a full siege on Gaza according to Giora Eiland's "Generals' Plan."
3. A complete cessation of negotiations with Hamas. Negotiations should only be conducted with entities that prove they hold the hostages.
This evening, the IDF spokesperson released footage from the tunnel where the six hostages—Carmel Gat (of blessed memory), Eden Yerushalmi (of blessed memory), Hirsh Goldberg-Pollin (of blessed memory), Alexander Lubinov (of blessed memory), Almog Sarusi (of blessed memory), and Sergeant Major Uri Danino (of blessed memory)—were killed. The footage shows the tunnel's layout, which extended 120 meters, with the tunnel’s entrance located in a children’s room.
The tunnel was not fit for living conditions—barely adequate, with bottles of urine and equipment for female occupancy. Large blood stains were found at the location of the murders.
According to the investigation, the tunnel where the hostages were found was a passage tunnel about 120 meters long. It was blocked at one end by a metal door, which the terrorists used to exit and then locked after the murders. The door was locked when the forces arrived.
